GREAT CITIES OF THE WORLD

By Marco Cattaneo & Jasmina Trifoni

“A great reading and visiting book to keep the aspirations and dreams alive.”

What if you can travel around the world like Mr. Fox in “Around the World in 80 Days”? Wouldn’t it be great? Right when we all desire to do that since it’s a long-life dream but who can really make a dream come true. Actually most people have no idea where we to begin and which cities are the best to visit. Do we need a travel guidebook? Or just a travel book?

For us a travel guidebook is perfect in terms of all FYI and map. So once we see this book, we can’t look away. We are also eager to find out more about this big heavy travel guidebook. Then we realize that we are wrong about this book as a guide, after flipping through page by page, letter by letter. This book “Great Cities of the World” is actually more than a guide. While it reflects the endless aspirations and dreams, it’s actually everyone’s dream and our journey through the world can begin now. Great Cities of the World describes fifty six of the world’s largest and greatest cities, chosen from across the six continents – Europe, Asia, Africa, Australian and Oceania, North America, Central and South America. Most of them like London, Paris, Rome, Cairo, New York, Vancouver or Bangkok have fascinated tens of thousands of visitors for years. Some like Singapore, Sydney, Cape Town or St. Petersburg are a few centuries old. Others are vast with populations in continual, rapid expansion. Others, particularly in Europe, have very large populations. The authors did examine cities civilizations through history and also focus on their modern atmosphere and dynamics. The metropolitan pulse makes a city a living organism. Featuring colourful images, Great Cities of the World is totally capturing our heart and reading this is like a tour of the world taken from our own home. Throughout the discovery from Auckland to Washington, from Madrid to Bangkok, from Beijing to Johannesburg, the book also represents the evolution of the world and tells us where we should go for. Thus, if you happen to enjoy reading and dreaming of adventure, then you can travel the world without leaving the comforts of your own home.

Great Cities of the World” is now available at Amazon
